"I am not afraid to die, sir," the seventy-five-year-old, weak,
bed-ridden, nearly helpless Congressman Henry Clay told Congressman John
Cabell Breckinridge. "I have hope, faith, and confidence. I do not think
any man can be entirely certain in regard to his future state, but I have
an abiding trust in the merits and mediation of our Savior." p. 69
Breckindidge, Stateman Soldier Symbol by William C. Davis
